Amazing only 2 deaths reported >>
Sick of these stupid headlines. The damage is very imaginable and routine for Hurricanes and Tornado’s all the time.
If y’all think Panama City is bad, go find pictures of Mexico Beach. Huge swathes are just gone. That city will likely never recover.
Every other President has been able to stop hurricanes from damaging people’s property and upsetting their lives, until this one.
Yep. Pics of mexico beach look like an extinction event. Prayers for them
One of these days, you will be hearing about ‘Hurricane Obama’.
1. The destruction: Strength of the storm or substandard hosuing for locales with high risks each year of facing hurricanes?
2. The affliction of excess hyberpole in weather reporting is now matching that seen by the judges on the TV musical talent shows.
It was the answer as to why one area got leveled, while another, a block away, received "standard" storm damage.
"They" didn't start building "hardened" anemometers until the 1990s or so, and placing them in hurricane-prone areas.
My S-I-L has (had) a condo out there
We had eight years of ‘Hurricane Obama’......................
No news out of that area.................
Not unlike New Orleans and Mississippi after Katrina.
It’s the price one pays to live on the coast.
That and high insurance costs.............
I live on the Pacific coast and we don't have these issues. A storm now and then but that's it.
“Mishelle McPherson and her ex-husband searched for the elderly mother of a friend. The woman lived in a small cinderblock house about 150 yards from the Gulf and thought she would be OK.
Her home was reduced to crumbled cinderblocks and pieces of floor tile.
“Aggy! Aggy!” McPherson yelled. The only sound that came back was the echo from the half-demolished building and the pounding of the surf.”
Aggy made a poor decision.
yes- but you will soon break off from the continental US and be floating in the Pacific after the next big earthquake...
This is one case where I don't worry about media descriptions.
Having done relief work on the heels of several Cat 5 storms, for most people, unimaginable is an accurate description of the sort of damage that occurs.
